Google is the world's most popular website and the world's most widely used search engine. It is a multinational organization, which revolves around the company's popular search engine. Other Google businesses include Internet search analytics, cloud computing, web application technologies, browser, and operating system development. According to the company, the name derives from the word googol that reflects the "mission" of its founders "to organize a seemingly infinite amount of information on the web." Googol is the name of a number created by Milton Sirrota at the age of nine, the nephew of mathematician Edward Kasner; it is a one followed by one hundred zeros, or what is the same, in scientific notation, one times ten to one hundred.
History of Google:
Google was created in 1998 by Larry Page and Sergey Brin, students at Stanford University as part of a degree project, it initially fulfilled a specific function: improving Internet searches. Google's rapid growth as a powerful search engine represented the downfall of altavista.com, which at the time was the most widely used search engine. Google as a search engine is the most widely used product in the world, but as a result of its creation, web and desktop applications have been developed that complement and build the company Google Inc., in which the life of all these applications is currently developed.
